Abstract
This is a splendid addition to the collection! Iriarte is so seldom illustrated! Here are forty-eight fables, one each to the book's very tall (12½ x 8¾) pages. The cover shows the hippo and donkey as a marching band with the monkey ringing a bell. The paper used in the book is very thick. About a third of the pages are illustrated in full color. Text and illustration are well integrated with each other in the design of individual pages here. Among the best of the colored illustrations are FC (5); Los Dos Conejos (15); La Cabra y el Caballo (21); El Jardinero y su Amo (29); Los Dos Tordos (33); El Juez y el Bandolero (35). El Topo y Otros Animales (39); and La Rana y la Gallina (47). Among the black-and-white pages, some of the best include La Abeja y los Zánganos (4); El Mono y el Titiritero (7); and La Compra del Asno (30). Even the back cover is fun: five children and a dog crowd around to read the book of Iriarte's fables while one child cries apart from the group.
